Profhilo is a bio-remodelling injectable that can effectively improve the under-eye area by hydrating the delicate skin, boosting elasticity, and reducing fine lines — all without adding volume. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which physically fill hollows and can sometimes create a puffy or overfilled appearance, Profhilo stimulates your skin’s own collagen and elastin production. This makes it a particularly appealing option for patients who want a refreshed, natural-looking under-eye area without the risks associated with volumising fillers.
Why Is the Under-Eye Area So Difficult to Treat?
The skin beneath the eyes is among the thinnest and most delicate on the face. It is one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging — fine lines, crepiness, hollowness, and dark circles. The under-eye area also loses fat volume with age, contributing to a tired or sunken appearance.
Traditional fillers can address hollowness but carry risks in this delicate zone, including Tyndall effect (a bluish discolouration), lumpiness, or an overfilled look. Profhilo avoids these risks because it does not add volume — it improves the quality and resilience of the skin itself.
How Does Profhilo Work Under the Eyes?
Profhilo uses NAHYCO Hybrid Technology — a patented formulation combining two forms of hyaluronic acid — to deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin from within. When injected into the under-eye area using a fine needle or cannula, it nourishes the delicate skin, reduces crepiness and fine lines, makes the skin appear firmer and smoother, and avoids the risk of an unnatural or overfilled appearance.
Profhilo also has the potential to support adiposity neogenesis — the regeneration of fat cells. As the under-eye area loses fat with age, this property helps restore natural volume and support, working with your body’s own processes rather than adding external substances.
What Should You Expect from the Procedure?
A typical Profhilo under-eye session is quick and minimally invasive. Precision injections are administered using a fine needle or cannula to target specific points around the eyes. Most patients can resume daily activities immediately. Initial improvements in hydration and texture are visible within days, with full results developing over the following weeks as collagen production increases.
Results typically last 6–9 months, with follow-up sessions recommended to maintain the effects. Individual results vary depending on skin condition, age, and lifestyle factors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Profhilo under-eye treatment painful? Most patients describe the discomfort as very mild. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimise any sensation. The procedure itself takes approximately 15–20 minutes.
How is Profhilo different from under-eye filler? Filler physically adds volume to fill hollows — it changes the shape of the area. Profhilo improves skin quality without adding volume. It hydrates, firms, and stimulates collagen so the skin looks better on its own. They address different problems and are sometimes used together in a staged approach.
Who is a good candidate for Profhilo under the eyes? Profhilo under-eye treatment is ideal for patients with fine lines, crepiness, thin or dehydrated under-eye skin, or mild hollowing who want improvement without volume addition. Patients with deep hollows may benefit from a combination approach. An in-person assessment is necessary to determine the best option.
